GHRI ZIFFE!

Why create anything? You are going to die.

The world is not very good in many ways. The human body, supposed to be the pinnacle of evolution: brittle and susceptible to diseases. You do anything for longer then an hour or more than once a day then it either becomes endlessly boring or your hand hurts or your back aches or something. The average person is some sort of hivemind-construct that is good at lying and has memorised the social cues that are never taught but everyone except you knows. Art is the only way to escape. And it's very easy!

Haha no it's not.

Art is, atleast in our time, the most complete and compelling way in which we as humans can express our unique human condition. Art is the ultimate construct, something strange and insoluable. In the way Gance signs his films, we must take credit for what we create = be it music, paintings, writing or otherwise. An artist mustn't be burdened by the trends of today, nor create a persona. The art must speak for itself and the artist must speak through it.

An artist must observe at all times. The discarded and banal is as artistic as any work, from Joderosky to Rembrant. The true artist must not be afraid of modernity. Similarly, they do not fear the past.
